| Very dodgy pub used by very dodgy people. kevmac - 28 Jan 2011 16:50 |
| A fairly typical 1970�s estate pub. There are a few bench seats out the front which is a pleasant enough spot to watch the world go by with views of the Dundry hills in the distance. Inside it�s divided in to two with a lounge bar on the left and a public bar on the right. From memory the public bar used to have a pool table, although I didn�t go in there on this visit so cannot confirm if it�s still there. The lounge bar could do with a bit of TLC but it does the job reasonably enough. There�s a rather worn carpet leading to a bar counter at the back, and a selection of tables, chairs and some brown leather bench seating around the perimeter, including a raised section in one corner. Various non-descript artwork adorns the walls. Food is very much of the cheap and cheerful variety, and seems to concentrate on sizzlers and burgers. Most of the mains are less than �5 so expectations should not be too high, but at these prices you can�t really complain. My BBQ Chicken sizzler with bacon, cheese and fries was good value at �3.99, although the iron skillet it was served on was so hot that the sauce was virtually incinerated and the chicken had stuck fast to the dish. They also do a curry deal on a couple of nights. The only real ale on tap was a pleasant pint of Bass. There was also a pump for EPA, although this was unavailable on a recent visit, and there was keg Worthington Creamflow, whatever that is. Cider�s faired slightly better with Blackthorn, Thatcher�s Gold and Bulmers. Blackthorn - 28 Jan 2011 16:06 |
| Had a surprisingly good Pt of Butcombe and a decent meal (2 for �6.50!!!) last week. Pleasant staff. Was probably a kipper house before the smoking ban. Worth a return visit. an_ecunemical_matter - 15 Dec 2007 14:04 |
